While reading a recent editorial, the words "priorities" and "outrage" came to mind ["To aid Medicaid," Dec. 14]. For as long as I can remember, hardly a day passes that there is not at least one impassioned letter urging the saving of Crow's Nest or stopping "sprawl"--usually at someone else's expense--while outrage cannot be sustained for truly important issues such as the deaths of our kids on the roads, or the level of health care in our state. Oh, there will be a short flurry of posturing when another child is bashed to death by slamming into a tree, but in short order we revert back to the obscene obsession with Crow's Nest and sprawl. The death traps on our roads and inadequate health care may not be the No. 1 priority for our community resources, but I submit that they are way ahead of whatever is No. 2, and certainly should come before Crow's Nest and sprawl. Do I overstate my case? See Alyssa Buckingham's recent letter to the editor ["Stafford has lots of houses, only one Crow's Nest," Dec. 15]. Would we substitute "kids" for "houses," in our fervor?
